PEACEMAKERS IN
OUR CLASSROOMS
The world around us has become a place where true peace is hard to find. Regional conflicts have become the norm. Our leaders spend more time yelling at each other than solving problems. The internet has become a place filled with angry people that are more than happy to anonymously attack others. All the while, this lack of peace has become the lens through which our students are being formed. As Christians, this is not what we are called to be. Instead, we are called to be peacemakers.
​
This year at Alliance Christian, we are calling attention to this concept through our theme “Make me an instrument of your peace”, focusing on our key verse “Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they will be called Children of God.” Through our chapels, mentor groups, and our Ignite partnership with World Vision, we are challenging our students to develop healthy, meaningful relationships with each other, to live according to Romans 12:18, to live at peace with everyone.
BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS, FOR THEY WILL
BE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD.
MATTHEW 5:9

OUR COMMUNITY
We are excited to see our Service Learning initiative grow this year. Through this initiative, our students have the opportunity to go off campus, join with community partners, and help become part of meeting needs. These experiences, which tie back to our school curriculum, help to form our students to see others first, listen to needs, and show the love of Christ. Students put into practice the very ideas of being a peacemaker in their communities.

Updates to Elementary Building, Including New Paint & Gym Padding
Our Elementary building is in need of some TLC! It has been serving our students well for over twenty years and it is starting to show some of the wear and tear of hundreds of students coming through its halls.

THE WORLD
Finally, our partnership with the World Vision Ignite program helps our students to grasp biblical concepts in their classrooms and use them to understand global issues. Our Elementary students focus their learning on the relationships they have with themselves and God, themselves and their classmates, and themselves and their communities, including spending the entire 5th grade school year studying the very concept of being a peacemaker. In Middle School and High School, our students start to move beyond concepts and into application. They are studying concepts such as advocacy and the impact of food insecurity on children both in our community and around the world. In studying these concepts, they are gaining a greater understanding of these complex issues and how they can make a
difference in the world.
